Pet Sitter Bios

Hi, I'm Terie!

I love helping people and their pets live their best life together. Whether you've just adopted a new adult dog or a puppy, and you want to start off on the right path to your best life together, or if you and your dog are struggling to find a healthy, happy relationship. We can help!
We focus on the state of mind of your dog and getting them to a peaceful state. Then we teach you how to be the strong leader they are in need of so they can just relax and be a great dog. Reactivity, Leash manners, barking, chewing, jumping, aggression, separation anxiety and more. We love a challenge!
My passion has always been helping people. I am constantly fascinated by what dogs are capable of in terms of training/learning. They never cease to amaze me in their transformations. If you have been struggling with your dog, the dog you have today, doesn't have to be the dog you have tomorrow! Have the dog you want, not the dog you have. For your dog's sake! Let us help you live your best life together. It would be my pleasure.

Hi I'm Shannon! I've been married to my husband, Carl for 20+ years, a foster parent for 4 years to two young girls and on our way to adoption in the next year, fur mom to two dogs - Juliet (a 1-year old collie mix) and Reno (a 14-year.old Pomeranian). In addition to being Client Care Manager and admin support for Good Dog, I'm a previous Good Dog client, and I'm a virtual assistant supporting other businesses while living in Tallahassee, FL. The rest of my time goes to running my kids to various therapies and activities. I'm a busy momma and virtual assistant!

Hi I’m Gina, an immigrant from Colombia that arrived in the US at the age of 15. I have been blessed with a wonderful husband, two lovely kids, two dogs, two horses, two sugar gliders and three ferrets! I have had a passion for the animal kingdom ever since I can remember. From volunteering and fostering rescues, to bringing  home\ animals that needed help. I taught my Jack Russell terrier many tricks and became quite interested in the process as well as their communication. I went to school to obtain an associate’s degree in science and went to UGA to study psychology, but I had this itch that I knew I had to work with animals. So finally with my husband’s support I took off to Ohio to become a dog trainer and get my certification at the National K9 Academy! I love what I do, and it is a pleasure to see how an unruly animal and a frustrated owner can turn into a wonderful pair through communication and understanding. I currently own a German Shepherd named Lotor and the newest member of our family is a Border Collie puppy named Kai. I look forward to helping you and your dog create a better relationship through training!

Hi I'm AnnaBelle! love caring for animals and helping pet owners. I have been working with animals professionally since I was a junior in high school. In addition to working with Good Dog, I am a vet tech at a local animal hospital. In my free time, I enjoy listening to country music, taking road trips, and exploring new places. My favorite breed is the Boston Terrier as I grew up with 2. I currently live with my own Boston, Martina, and my cat, Loretta.

Hi! My name is Anna. I was originally born In Russia, and moved here when I was 6 years old. Since birth, I grew up on a small farm and have loved all animals! My whole life, we have had pets and farm animals. I can’t imagine my life without that! I will treat your fur babies as my own! Lots of love and attention.

When I'm not helping out at Good Dog! I'm a Full Time Realtor serving Gwinnett County. In the crazy world of Real Estate, I love to start my day tending to the dogs at Good Dog. As Kennel Tech, I make sure the pups get social/play time, food, water, as well as lots of snuggles, and I keep their living quarters clean and fresh. I have 2 fur babies of my own, a long haired Dachshund named Kiki and a Lab named Cooper. If I could, I would have 10 more. In my free time I love to cook and go antiquing.

Hi My name is Joni! I have lived in Suwanee, GA for 20+ years.  I grew up in Wisconsin and have migrated to the warmer weather!  I grew up with dogs and cats, and that childhood love for animals has remained strong.  I have raised and trained large family dogs including German Shepherds and Weimaraners, and love all ages and sizes!  I have fostered for the Georgia SPCA and have experience giving medications.  Currently I own a cat named Dash.  I look forward to meeting your furry family and welcoming them into my home!

Hi there!  My name is Michael!  My wife and I are originally from New Orleans, but have lived in Atlanta since 2003.  After a long career in retail, I’ve focused on other opportunities which allow me flexibility to take care of my children.  We have two boys, two dogs Remi and Snickers, and a bunny named Blackberry.  It seems like I  have always had a dog in my house since I was a young boy.  As an only child, it felt like my pets were more like siblings than a pet.  I look forward to meeting all of my new siblings and you as well.

Hi, my name is Zaria, and I was born and raised in Snellville, Georgia. Sadly, I do not yet have any pets of my own, but just because I don’t own any doesn’t mean that I’ll love yours any less! After working in the restaurant industry for two years now, I have realized that an animal-related line of work would be more up my alley. That being said, I’m excited to set off on this new adventure with Good Dog, and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

Hello! I’m Mary Tiller and live in Lilburn, Ga. with my two grade school girls.  When looking for a flexible part time job, I started searching ‘jobs with animals’ because that is what I like! Thank goodness Good Dog! Coaching & Pet Care picked me! This job allows me to be around different types of dogs and hang out with them and go for walks. ALL great things! I have one cat at my home, thus…you guessed it, I love cats! And all their quirky personalities.  I am so happy to take care of your pets while you are away. I’m love long walks, petting 100 pets on the back, fetch over and over and over, and treating your pet how I would want my pet to be treated.
